Experience of learning new concept English
[China Journal website]
Everyone will adopt different learning methods according to their own learning characteristics. Here are some different ways to recite.
Method (1)
(1) Clear the purpose and concentrate.
Reciting a text or a sentence that must be mastered, the most taboo is to look around, be careless and be distracted. If it is a very simple text, it must be because of carelessness if you keep making mistakes after reciting it for a few days. As for the phenomenon of "remembering first and then forgetting", it is normal. At this time, don't give in to this temporary difficulty and shrink back.
(2) Determine the task and find the trick.
It is not feasible to recite a short passage only a few times. You must read it thoroughly. It can be shorter and easier at first, and then make some adjustments. In addition, when reciting, we should pay attention to certain skills, be familiar with the content of the text, and understand the main idea of the text, so that we won't remember wrong or confused, and we can remember more and more.
(3) stick to the back and check in time.
The more time you spend reviewing and reciting, the better your memory will be. For example, recite the text or knowledge in the morning, recite it once before going to bed at night and getting up the next day, then review it properly every Saturday or Sunday, and recite it again one month later. Only in this way can we ensure that we will not forget for a long time.
(4) Strengthen dictation training.
As the saying goes, "It's better to read it a thousand times than to copy it by hand." Dictation can effectively consolidate the texts and knowledge that have been memorized, which is of great benefit to deepening memory. Because writing itself is a kind of figure and symbol, regular dictation can help us promote the development of the right brain. If we can practice dictation step by step and for a long time, it will certainly contribute to the quality and effect of recitation.
Method (2)
(1) Combination of repeated reading and copying
Simple repeated reading is ineffective. Learners should actively try to reproduce the article before memorizing it completely, and then read it when they can't remember it. It is easy to remember and lasts for a long time. Especially unfamiliar sentences, pay attention to repeat them as many times as possible. Because trying to reproduce is a more active intellectual activity than reading, and it is also a process of self-examination, which can make people pay more attention, grasp the key points and difficulties of memory content, and correct mistakes in memory in time.
(2) Give it a try
In the process of reciting, if there is a "jam", it is necessary to recall. Memory is a form of intentional and indirect reproduction, which requires great willpower, overcoming certain difficulties, looking for clues in many ways and thinking actively and flexibly. Therefore, you can't just get stuck and stop carrying it.
(3) study hard
Through understanding and digestion, the article has been incorporated into its own knowledge system, and sentences have become catchy through familiar reading and reciting. If you read them repeatedly, you can recite them fluently. In addition to individual and collective recitation, there is also antithesis, that is, two people recite face to face at the same time, because of the interference of the other party, which can exercise the profoundness and correctness of students' memory; Mention the back, that is, where to type, where to recite, where to mention and where to recite, which can exercise the accuracy of students' memory.
(4) dictation
This is also a form of reciting the internal language, which can be used by both brain and hand to deepen the memory of the article. An article is "eaten" paragraph by paragraph. Finally, follow the principle of "whole → part → whole" and recite the whole article in series according to the method of reciting paragraphs.
In addition, in order to keep the content of recitation in mind for a long time, so as to extract the application in practice in time, learners should also pay attention to two points: First, follow the forgetting law and arrange review reasonably. There should be daily review and weekly review. Constantly strengthen the memory trace to avoid its weakening or fading. Second, according to the influence of memory level on the forgetting process, pay attention to arranging excessive learning. Experiments show that the effect of excessive learning is better than moderate learning. The so-called moderate learning refers to the learning that stops just after reciting the materials. Excessive learning refers to continuing to learn after reciting the materials.
I don't have superhuman memory, and I don't belong to the kind of awesome person that others say. I just put three new concept English books in three months &; All four volumes *** 108 were memorized.
The first article: past tense and future tense (psychological preparation)
Some people may ask: Why do you want to recite it? I think it's good?
The cause of the story is a real short story: (I heard it in New Oriental in the summer of 2002)
There is a student in New Oriental who is now at Duke University. He began to recite the third book of New Concept English from the first year of high school and didn't finish it until the third year of high school. The college entrance examination entered Peking University. After entering Peking University, he didn't want to recite it any more. But when he recited it to his classmates, all the other students showed envious eyes. Therefore, for this vanity, he insisted on reciting the fourth book and memorizing the third and fourth books. How far does he know? Someone said any of them, so that he could connect the previous sentence with the next one, and the pronunciation was very standard, because he recited it by imitating the tape. Later, he went to Duke University in America. He wrote a letter to his teacher in New Oriental, but the teacher was afraid to reply because he was afraid of his English. He has learned English so well that he can only write back to him in Chinese, telling him that it is not that he can't write English, but that he wants to brush up on Chinese and not forget the language of his motherland.
The student wrote an article in the first week in America, and the professor called him over and said that his article was plagiarized because it was so good. The professor said, "I have been teaching for 20 years and have never taught such a beautiful article." The student said, I can't prove that I can write such an excellent article, but I tell you that I can recite 108 articles and I am very skilled. do you want to hear it ? As a result, the professor began to cry before he finished reciting two articles. Why? Because the professor thinks that he has been teaching for 20 years, but he has never recited a single article, all of which are recited by China students, so he is very sad. ...
From then on, I had an impulse. One day, I believe I can recite all this 108 article. Like I did it.
I believe some people will ask: What is your biggest difficulty in reciting? My answer is "persistence". In fact, I can stick to it because of a short story I saw in The Reader:
Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, gave his students the first class and asked them to raise their hands before class every day. A week later, he found that half of the students stopped waving; A month later, he found that only one third was waving; After half a year, he looked again and found that only one person was waving, and that person was Plato. Plato later became a great thinker and philosopher.
In fact, everything is "simple repetition and mechanical labor" in the end. As long as you do it, ok, you may be at the forefront in a certain field, even $ Number.
Part II: Present continuous tense (reciting specific strategies)
No matter what you study, you may make a plan for yourself or have a step.
I heard of Wang Guowei's Three Realms a long time ago:
Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went upstairs alone to see the horizon.
I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq.
The crowd looked for her former Baidu, but the man turned back in the dim light.
Did these words inspire you to do things?
I like Chairman Mao's poems very much, so I also have three realms of doing things connected by Chairman Mao's poems.
Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is a leap from the beginning. (This is the first realm)
Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. (This is the second realm)
When I was in bloom, I laughed in the bushes. (This is the ultimate goal)
Three months of formal recitation, basically 10- 12 hours a day, is both painful and happy for me. Pain, because I am too tired, sometimes I feel sick when I see a "new concept"; Happy, watching yourself recite these articles day by day, that kind of happy mood is self-evident. Maybe this is called "pain and happiness".
In this "pain and happiness", I also experienced several processes:
1。 I have been holding a book to recite the text in my small room since I was a child, walking with my head down and reciting (loudly). I did the same thing when I recited "New Concept". As a result, I was exhausted and inefficient at the end of the day, and this method was quickly eliminated.
2。 I found that the efficiency of reciting in my own bed has been greatly improved, so at the end of the day, I feel quite relaxed except that my voice is a little tired. That's it. I am at 4 o'clock. I finished reciting the third book on the 30th. Think about the 60 lessons in the third book. I spent more than a month (oh, my recitation was in March 2003. It will be done on the 20th, so there are only 48 lessons in Book Four. It is estimated that it should be no problem to get it done in one month. But the truth is beyond my expectation.
3。 On May 1 day, I began to recite Book 4, and when it was time to recite Lesson 10 (silicon vallay), I couldn't help myself. I coughed badly as soon as I recited it, and I was forced to stop reciting for five days. Later, I couldn't hear the back of my voice (that is, the silent back). As a result, a miracle happened. I stopped coughing and my efficiency doubled. Perhaps "memorizing" is the habit of many people, but it is not easy for me to change the habit of memorizing since I was a child. ) at this point, there may be nothing to talk about. However, when I was about to finish my fourth book (going back to Lesson 39), I encountered a great difficulty, that is, "noise". Because my family lives in (Tianjin people call it) "a complex". When summer comes, everyone comes out to enjoy the cool. This noise of life has become my biggest enemy. The speed of reciting was forced to slow down. In this way, the fourth book was originally scheduled to be 6 at the latest. 10 won, and the result is 6. 2 1 day to fix everything.
So for me (I dare not say whether it is applicable to others), the fastest way to recite is: 1. Sit in one place. Memory 3. Try to find a quiet place.
Part three: the present perfect tense (feeling after reciting)
The 30-year bestseller of New Concept English shows that it is really a good book.
1。 Most of the articles in the third volume will make you feel that this article is really interesting and this story is very interesting. The article in the third volume can be said that the author made this article look like a masterpiece. If you can memorize the first 40 articles in three volumes, your writing ability will definitely be greatly improved. If you say that I have memorized the first 40 articles in three volumes, I still can't write a composition. That's either your problem, my problem or a new concept problem.
2。 The fourth book is difficult. But what's her problem? What is more difficult for her than the third book? In fact, my feeling is that the fourth volume is basically "descriptive" and the third volume can be said to be "narrative". So the difficulty of the fourth volume lies in her style. She has no plot, she has her own ideas. Therefore, a class like Lesson 44 "Cultural Patterns" is simply super difficult. She has no plot and it is difficult to recite.
In the eyes of English learners all over the world, New Concept English can be described as a "classic" textbook. Nowadays, learning new concept English has become a common practice in China. So what's the difference between this "treasure book"? New Concept English is written by a famous English language education expert, Mr. L.G.Alexander. It is enduring because it can help learners improve their five qualities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation in a short time. Let me help you analyze the benefits and specific learning methods of learning new concept English from these aspects:
Part one, listen.
Everyone can regard New Concept English as a good listening textbook. The supporting tapes of New Concept English are English version and American version. You can choose to buy according to your actual needs. The method of practicing English listening through new concept English can refer to the following steps:
Step 1: Don't read. Dictate the whole text. If you can't hear some words, guess what this word should be. If you can't hear them, you won't be forced. With the increase of dictation, listening will be gradually enhanced. In the process of listening, we can also deepen our understanding of English pronunciation. And practice has proved that if you can understand it at once, the phenomenon of English translation into Chinese in your mind will disappear and your reading comprehension will be greatly improved.
Step 2: Compare the dictation with the original text, find out the mistakes, know where you are wrong, and how to avoid them in the future.
Step 3: Follow the text. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation of each word, try to imitate the tape and try to be close to it.
The second part, vocabulary.
The words learned in the new concept textbook are the most basic and commonly used words, so everyone must master them. For those who don't quite understand the meaning, it's best to look it up and master it with Ying Ying dictionary or double dictionary.
The third part, grammar and reading.
I suggest you do exercises after class, test synchronously, consolidate the learning content and test the learning effect. In particular, every lesson of new concepts has its own core grammar content, which requires students to master this grammar in every lesson. If individual students feel that their grammar and reading level are poor, in order to improve their English strength, it is best to choose some grammar textbooks and English graded reading materials equivalent to their own level for extracurricular study.
The fourth part, writing.
Many people don't know how to improve their writing ability by learning new concepts. Actually, there are laws to follow. Before you come into contact with a new text, don't read its English first, but write it down according to its Chinese translation and then translate it into English, and then compare it with the original text, so that once you compare it, you can find the weaknesses and problems in your writing, correct them in time, and improve it over time. Especially some beautiful essays in the third and fourth volumes provide you with quite good writing methods and classic essays.
The fifth part, reciting.
In the process of learning, reciting some classic texts will be very beneficial to English memory and understanding. Especially for English beginners, reciting texts can deepen their memory of English and form a fixed memory area in their minds, which is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Many classic sentence patterns, grammar and vocabulary can be effectively retained in the hearts of the reciter by reciting the text, so that students' reading, grammar and writing can be improved at the same time.
